Finally.
Marita Connolly – Remember The Time.
Dublin/Florida-reared Marita, a classically-trained soprano, plays the Stag’s Head Raw on Sunday night (upstairs in the Stag’s Head, Dame Court,Dublin) on Sunday night. With support from Canci Strong and Our Krypton Sons.
8pm. €8.
Interesting combination of out of tune with out of time
+ 5/8
This is recorded with an iPhone, probably.Jesus give the chick a break she’s just trying to do something positive
I bet you back seat judge and second guess x factor. Stop criticising people who really are not doing any wrong. Did u even bother to look at the other vids? Sarah is stunning. Also some journo probably just fooled and plulled a link in…
anyway lighten up pat people on the back who try.
Dreadful
Must be Ewok’s cousin or something. Otherwise, why inflict this on anyone? Or am I missing the subtle sarcasm?
Broadsheet clearly have some deal with Stags Head Raw as they advertise these gigs there every week as posts.
Free pints for the administrators maybe.
” classically-trained soprano” huh? I’d be looking for a refund on that one.
Yes Anne, you’re absolutely right…you would be looking for a refund…if you had managed to drag yourself away from your tub of ice-cream and dragged your flabby backside into town.
Very harsh – what did Wilde say about critics. O ye ” they’re a bunch of c#nts”
That’s slightly wrong, I think it was “I have nothing to declare but your c#ntishness”
I’d rather be at the free comedy in the basement (every Sunday and Monday at 9pm — it’s awesome).
Meanies! She played a gig in Galway a few months ago and she was deadly.
Why’d you take down the Guess Who post? Very odd… :/
Your post wasn’t here when I posted the one below, Mr. Foreskin. Sorry for the echo…
Where did the “Guess Who?” post go lads?
Typical Irish cute whoorism in action.
You see its who you know in Ireland that matters.
I’d say if a Joe public wrote the article it would still be here but ya know how it is sure… it would be “awkward” for the Admin here to have a Coffee with Jen at some future date.
The same type of awkward for Seannie and his “mates” at the golf club.
Shame on you broadsheet. Shame.
If that is the case, it’s disappointing.
We’re people libelling her or just criticising her work? Or did it turn creepy?
They were tearing the Blog piece/article (There was also a piece on the IT website she did recently on Gender equality) to pieces and taking the p1ss out of her and the letter she wrote back to the company, like the fact she mentioned she had a “Masters”
You can read the blog here and form your own opinion.

I don’t recall any thing “creepy” but some critical analysis of her journalistic ability. eh… broadsheet style :)
I’m never getting my Avatar on this site now :((((
I’m probably a marked man now!
Expect ominous figures in the shadows. Bodger slapping a cudgel into his open palm. Ewok twirling a coin between his fingers. Then John Moynes steps forward in a fedora.
“So you’re the young fellow called Tickle
Whos got himself in a bit of a pickle…”
Fade out on a scream….
This site was fun but I think I’m done now. Before I go:
Dear Jen, isn’t social media and the internet and fun stuff like that just swell until bold people with opinions which differ from yours (and who may choose to express these differing opinions from time to time in a satirical manner in order to lightheartedly ridicule those in the public eye whom they may perceive as vacuous, attention seeking, pretentious or unnecessarily living in a constant state of indignation) show up and spoil the party.
#lol
I nearly wrote something similar to that in reply to chops last night. Totally agree with you.(but decided not to hit “enter”)
Plus I was going to add… I think there have been worse things said about others such as the Minister for Health and Ronan Mullens which no one seems bothered about.
Still tis only the internetz. Serious business and all that :)
James Reilly and Ronan ‘Jesus’ Mullen have it coming. But keep up the Youth Defence trolling. Nobody suspects a thing.
5:21? I gave her 40 seconds. A classically trained soprano? And I’m a dickhead with a keyboard….oh…..actually……
Typical Irish comments. I’d say a lot of you guys spend time on message boards just slaging off anyone and everyone. It’s a very Irish thing to begrudge peoples success. I’m not a friend of the singer but she has a wonderfull voice and onwards and upwards with her.
Peter 0′Doherty, fair play boyo.
Yours sincerely

Like most classically trained musicians, she can’t hold a note without sheet music, or a rhythm without a conductor. Dismal.
Lovin the performance…and she’s superpretty.
Yes looks like Kelly le Brock. I only saw this as a mate went to the gig and said it was very good she had a full band. I’ll go to her next show, feck all the begrudgers. ant imagine any of them had the nuts or talent to even try to sing for 90 mins.

Who are these people who think it’s ok to say horrible things about others in a public forum like this? Why don’t some of you trolls get up on stage and sing for an hour and see how pitch-perfect every single note you sing is???
I was at the gig, was a really good performance & she has a really nice voice! Good vid!
